This does look like a fungal infection.
Next Steps
Do not self medicate with the mentioned cream as it contains a potent steroid and will worsen your condition.

You may consult me or any certified dermatologist of your choice for an appropriate treatment plan. Try to keep the area dry and free from sweat accumulation, to help it heal faster.
